Maryland, Virginia To Take In Thousands of Sharia-Loving, Potential Terrorists
The governors of Maryland and Virginia both said on Monday that their states are “ready and willing” to take in more refugees from Afghanistan as the situation there continues to deteriorate.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said in a statement Monday that the state will take in at least 180 Afghan nationals in the next few weeks as part of Operation Allies Refuge, a program that provides Special Immigrant Visas for Afghans and Iraqis who have helped Americans in translation, security and similar roles during the occupations of their countries.
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said in a tweet Monday that he had met with Afghans at Fort Lee, and said he was coordinating with D.C. on efforts. “We’re ready and willing to take thousands more” people, Northam said.
“Virginia will continue to serve as a safe harbor,” he added.
Our latest stories...Last week I was honored to meet some of the thousands of Afghan citizens and families who have sought refuge at Fort Lee in Virginia.

I'm coordinating with DC and have made it clear: we're ready and willing to take thousands more. Virginia will continue to serve as safe harbor.
